USDA awarding $25,200 for Northern Nevada 'Buy Local' website

USDA Rural Development Nevada approved $25,200 in funding to support a website that promotes buying local products and services.

Once operational, the "Buy Local Rural Northern Nevada" website will allow local businesses to list themselves for free on the site. The goal is to help local and rural businesses increase their visibility while helping consumers find local products and services to support Northern Nevada jobs and economic activity. Inclusion in the directory is open to all local businesses from hair salons and bike shops to breweries and restaurants.

Funding will be provided to the Western Nevada Development Authority through Rural Business Enterprise Grants. Buy Nevada First has been contracted to create the website and its database.

The project area for the "Buy Local Rural Northern Nevada" initiative includes Churchill, Douglas, Humboldt, Lyon, Mineral, Pershing and Storey Counties as well as rural Washoe County. To learn about how to be listed in the online directory, rural businesses in these counties can contact Dave Asher at 775-224-2242. For more details about the program visit www.buylocalruralNV.com.
